What Would You Say To Your Favorite Skater (s)?

Hi Folks, as some of you know, I am going to see the Holiday Festival on Ice show in Langley, BC on Dec. 1st. I also just found out there is to be a "meet and greet" with the skaters after the show. My husband, encouraged me to purchase a ticket for that event. He is going to wait patiently for me after the show, while I " hob nob" with the cast. Anyway, since I know I will be overwhelmed and too shy to say much, I am open to suggestions. What would you say to Kurt, Elvis or Joannie if you were in the same room?

Complimenting them always works... for Kurt - he lit up when we talked about how much his skating meant ove the years. Congratulating him on his placement at the competition earlier this fall might work too

Those are great things to tell Kurt, I agree. You can also tell him that you represent many of his fans and that they all send their thanks and best wishes. All I can think of to say to Joannie is that I still get chills just thinking o her performance of "Samson and Delilah" from Canadian Nationals--and I think I only saw it on my computer screen! And let us know what Elvis is up to these days.

I would try to think of a specific (good) memory that you have of each skater and tell them how much you liked it/what it meant to you/why you think they're generally fantastic and specifically in that regard. That way you don't sound generic but don't get too personal.

I remember my first time. It was 2009, before the Stars on Ice show here. I remember there was a specific thing I wanted to say to someone, but when the moment actually presented itself I think I was so caught up in the moment that I didn't say much if anything. It actually took 2-3 of these M&G opportunities to finally feel comfortable enough to say what I wanted to say to whomever. You know, just to get myself used to being in that type of situation. Now I really don't get nervous any more, although that "feeling" can still creep up from time to time.

please tell joannie that her sp in vancouver was amazing, and that her bronze medal performance was the one that touched millions. Please tell her her eyes light up the ice. Tell Elvis he was a great competitor who could jump while having great fast footwork. Skateluvr loves and misses them, please say. If you could get me Kurt's autograph, I'd die of happiness!

Kurt, is the best ever acc to Scott Hamilton. And We all agree! (I'll bet!)
